Golden Years: The Hatton Garden Heist

Mark Twain, always a good man for a quote, said about getting old:
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t
matter.” There is generally a broad unspoken societal agreement
over what the elderly are supposed to be like, the shape their
lives are supposed to have. There are always people who don’t fit
into this preconception, of course, I’m sure plenty of you have
encountered some weird and wild senior citizens—but probably not as
wild as the people in this week’s story., who turned their lives
into their own personal mash-up of “Grumpy Old Men” and “Oceans
11.”
